Security Review

The Security Review agent conducts a security review of a software solution — SaaS, cloud service, desktop application or library — and determines whether its use is acceptable from a security standpoint.

When to use the Security Review?

Before integrating a new tool into your information system, generate a Security Review to assess the associated security risks. You then have a structured report that facilitates the decision to adopt or reject the solution, based on objective security criteria.

tip

Use this agent as early as possible in a solution's evaluation process: it allows you to quickly spot blocking points before engaging in a testing or contracting phase.

Generate a Security Review

From the Agents page, find the Security Review card and click the Generate a Security Review button. A form opens with the following fields:

FieldDescriptionRequired

Version to evaluateSpecific version targeted by the review
Main use of the solutionGeneral use of the tool, as defined by the vendor

Once the fields are filled in, click Generate. The Security Review is then queued for generation. You can follow the progress from the Security Review history.

info

The quality of the report depends heavily on the precision of the information provided, in particular on the specific use in the organisation's context. The more detailed this context is, the better the agent can tailor its analysis to your environment.
